Recent research has focused on the dynamics of the Lucas-Uzawa model of endogenous growth (e.g., Caballé-Santos (1993), Chamley (1993) and Faig (1993)). This model allows for permanent growth of both consumption and investment, propelled by a human capital technology. In contrast to the...

In this paper we are concerned with the equilibrium dynamics of a two-sector model of endogenous growth with distortionary taxes. We show that for certain parameters values and tax schemes every equilibrium orbit--except the steady state solution--is non-interior; i.e., there are times in which...

The main goal in this paper is to analyze an economic model of endogenous growth where human capital accumulation acts as the engine propelling economic activity. The added ingredient in our model is that agents derive utility from consumption and leisure, where leisure is defined as the amount...

This paper analyzes the equilibrium dynamics of an endogenous growth model with physical and human capital in which leisure considerations have a direct effect on the utility function. Even in the absence of technological externalities our model may contain multiple balanced paths. These...
